?Wild survival challenge

◆語篇導讀

野外露營是越來越流行的戶外活動，它可以讓我們獲得野外生存的技能，懂得生命的珍貴。正常人沒有食物可以活三周，沒有水最多能活三天。設想一下，沒有手機的野外露營會是什么樣子的呢？

Imagine getting the chance to go camping for five days.It would be an adventure in the wild.You could row on a lake every day and leave your smart phone at home.Would you want to try this?

In June,four teenage girls from Minnesota,US,went camping in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness.They had a great time even without their smart phones.

Julia Ruelle,16,put the group together.Earlier this year,she won an essay contest award by a company.The award was a five-day canoe and camping adventure with three friends.No parents or guides would be there.This award was supposed to encourage teenagers to be less dependent on technology.

Ruelle had been to the area before,but she had always gone there with her parents.Sharing the experience with friends would be very different,so she invited three friends,Anna Wander,Madelline Wilson,and Julianna Torelli.

They came up with a daily plan.“We wake up early every day.We are paddling（用槳劃船）by noon.We eat lunch at the campsite.Then it is time for hammock,reading,writing,making friendship,and so on,”Ruelle said.

“There aren’t too many things to worry about,”Wander said when she was asked how she felt without her smart phone.Her favorite thing to do was lying in her hammock and looking at the lake.Torelli enjoyed cooking，so she made sandwiches.

No one felt hungry or homesick.“Mental（心理）health can be improved so much.It really helps to make you be less dependent on technology,”Ruelle said.

◆典句賞析

1.Sharing the experience with friends would be very different.與朋友們分享經驗將會是非常不同的（體驗）。

本句是一個簡單句，句子主語是動名詞短語sharing the experience with friends；share...with...是固定短語，意為“與……分享……”。

2.“There aren’t too many things to worry about,”Wander said when she was asked how she felt without her sm art phone.“沒有太多的事情需要擔心。”當被問到沒有手機的感受時，瓦德說。

這是一個主從復合句。由when引導的是時間狀語從句，其中由how引導的是賓語從句；There aren’t too m any things to worry about在主句中是直接引語，作said的賓語。
